Saab's Medical Care Solutions (MCS) offers an integrated function from the point of injury (POI) to advanced rear echelon medical treatment. The solutions are platform independent and logistically engineered to be operational across Air, Land and Naval domains – covering all climate zones.

Compact and light logistics footprint optimized for fast deployment

Low total cost of ownership - offering turnkey commitment

MEDEVAC/TACEVAC/STRATEVAC capabilities offered for Air, Land, Naval

Changes in the nature of war trauma means more of the seriously injured can now be restored to health. Achieving this higher rate of survivability requires immediate advanced first aid and rapid evacuation, with specialists providing en-route resuscitation and forward surgical teams providing damage control surgery on the way to final care in facilities with extensive clinical support capabilities.

Saab offers portable MCS across the spectrum from POI to NATO Roles 1-3. Our solutions are specially designed for rapid deployment and establishment of the function, requiring no specialist equipment and minimal personnel. The solutions are transportable by tactical, operational and strategic mobility and distribution systems.

We have a wide range of fully customisable and integrated infrastructure solutions designed to minimise costs and maximize functionality. This also includes training in infrastructure-/logistics- and medical areas. The MCS units are based on a modular system designed to account for future growth as an operation evolves.

Five basic shelter options - customised and mission-tailored

Expandable container

Inflatable tent

Framework tent

Hybrid tent

Climate unit

Expandable container

A standardised ISO 668 20 steel-of-aluminium box used for the safe and efficient transport of medical products and materials with the advantage of being expandable within minutes to a 3:1 container. Designed for various long-term applications on the ground.

Inflatable tent

Lightweight and quick to assemble, with the volume to support highly mobile and rapid operations. Can be used in all climate areas and connected to other tents and containers to build a complete camp.

Framework tent

Easy to assemble without the use of tools, ladders or power. Best suited to long-term military work out in the field. Can be used in all climate areas and connected to other tents and containers to build a complete camp.

Hybrid tent

Combines the benefits of the inflatable and framework tents. Easy to assemble by inflation and gradually supplemented by an exterior framework protecting against strong winds and heavy snow.

Climate unit

Provides shelters with conditioned air. Made to withstand even the toughest environmental conditions. Each unit has a closed circuit containing an environmentally-friendly refrigerant, and comes equipped with lifting devices and pallet fork pockets for ease of installation and removal.

Field hospital modules based on proven technology

Our flexible MCS can be tailored to fit rapidly changing tasks or situations. Different modules may be chosen, combined and used together depending on the individual circumstances of each mission. Further modules can then be added, supporting force growth and allowing the field hospital to expand and adapt as an operation develops. Tents and containers can also be dispatched to existing hospitals looking to modernise the design of their facilities and improve overall efficiency and service.

SURGICAL THEATRE - life and limb-saving surgery as well as primary surgery on injured patients

Threats are no longer just emerging on the battlefield. Piracy, smuggling and terrorism are challenging the traditional roles of armed forces. At the same time, shrinking defence budgets is making it difficult to sustain existing levels of capability. The race is on to provide forces with advanced and integrated technology to meet the broader spectrum of threats and to achieve maximum return from limited resources.
